Stolen Chair Theatre Company Hosts V-tines Day Atoms & Eves Party
By: Gabrielle Sierra Feb. 03, 2010
Stolen chair invites you to alter your senses with a taste-tripping miracle fruit experience run by the Three Little Truffle Pigs! One serving of miracle fruit makes lemons taste like candy and tequila taste like lemonade.
Have your head read by an unlicensed phrenologist , Dr. Dr. Philias Amorcandoras Liebenstein IV, who'll tell you what sort of a lover you really are!
The Atoms and Eves Party provides a sneak peek into the pilot season of Stolen Chair's Community Supported Theatre (CST), an innovative new way of connecting theatremakers and theatregoers. The idea comes from the world of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), where a small community of members literally provides seed money for a local farm in exchange for their share of a season's worth of harvested produce. In Stolen Chair's pilot CST, a community of 40 members has invested 'seed' money in the development of the company's newest work, Quantum Poetics, and is reaping a season's worth of monthly creative "harvests," from sneak-peek work-in-progress showings to exclusive lectures with the science world's most exciting speakers The Atoms and Eves party will give the public, along with the CST members, a chance to dance the night away and experiment in a mad scientist's lab (inspired by themes from Stolen Chair's upcoming theatre production, Quantum Poetics: A Science Experiment for the Stage).
Stolen Chair's Community Supported Theatre was awarded $25,000 of support from The Field's Economic Revitalization for Performing Artists (ERPA) grant, which receives funding from The Rockefeller Foundation's Cultural Innovation Fund. Stolen Chair is also supported, in part, by public funds from the New York State Council of the Arts. The CST has been profiled in The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Greenwich Time, and the Center for Sustainable Practices in the Arts.
